Ron watched from his position on the floor. He had just remembered a new spell he had read in 101 Useful Curses. As soon as he had unfrozen he shouted, "Knickerollisis!"

Harry felt a tingling sensation in his pants as the spell whooshed over him. He glanced at Ron, confused.

"Er--that spell was supposed to--"

Suddenly the crowd began to laugh uproariously. Harry looked down, horrified, to see that his Snitch-patterned Boxers were now displayed for the world to see. The males were doing most of the laughing and snorting. The females either squealed or screamed and immediately clamped their eyes shut. Harry quickly summoned his pants back.

That was definitely not part of the plan. Ron seemed to have frozen, apparently having been ignorant of the effects of Knickerollisis. Harry was very embarrassed, and more than a little angry. The plan was to have Ron use a couple of the basic spells and for Harry to dodge all of them except maybe one or two, and then go down. But after exposing his underwear to half the school, the only thought in Harry's head was, screw the plan.

Harry's first idea was to Stun Ron, but an eviler idea soon replaced it. With a swish of his wand, he conjured a spider and had it dangle in the air in front of Ron's face.

Ron, who had been pondering his next move, gave a high-pitched scream when he finally noticed the eight blinking eyes and the eight wiggling legs. He promptly ran off the stage, still screaming.

Hermione stood up and began making her way through the hysterical crowd. Harry quickly vanished the spiders. He had to admit that was pretty mean of him.

"Accio Ron!" shouted Harry. Ron, who had almost made it to the doors, came flying back to the stage.

"What was that for?" yelled Ron, trying to save his dignity as his face turned purple with embarrassment and rage.

"You exhibited my underpants to half the student population of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, damn it!" shouted Harry.

"I didn't know what Knickerollisis would do!" Ron protested. Fortunately his wand was pointed at the stage and no one had to suffer what Harry had gone through not too long ago.

"Are you that daft? Knickers! Knickerollisis! Oops!"

Draco Malfoy had passed stage one at that moment, on his way to a challenge against Colin Creevey at stage three. Harry's jinx just happened to hit him in the right part of his anatomy.

"What the hell?" said Malfoy, glancing down when the shrieks of laughter rose to a new height. He studied his exposed green briefs with conceited interest.

"Like what you see, Potter?" he drawled, looking up at the duelers of stage one.

Harry turned away, disgusted. Malfoy chuckled and strutted away without even bothering to retrieve his pants, to the delight of many of the girls.

Harry faced Ron again, ready to attack again. Ron did the same, although he seemed reluctant and apologetic.

But Harry didn't care if Ron was sorry or not, he had just exposed Harry's underwear to about half of the school. Harry was thinking to just do the Knickerollisis jinx on Ron but Harry just then thought of a much eviler idea.

While Ron was looking the other way for the moment, Harry yelled out loud Imperio pointing his wand straight at Ron while he was turning around to look at him.

Ron immediately became motionless and stared into space; he was under Harry's complete control.

Harry then said "Ron, you will strip off all of your clothes except your underwear."

Ron immediately started stripping off his clothes as if no one was there starting with his socks and shoes, then his Gryffindor robes, shirt and finally his pants. Ron was standing motionless in front of half of the school in only a pair of red Briefs. Everyone started laughing at Ron who was still under the Imperius curse.

Harry then said Accio Ron's clothes and Ron's clothes came to Harry who caught them in his hands and set them on fire with a spell.

Just then Ron snapped out of the Imperius curse and notices that he's in only his underwear. Embarrassed and furious at Harry, he finds his wand on the ground and yelled Accio clothes pointing his wand at Harry. Harry was left in his Snitch-Patterned Boxers again.

Both of them dueled in their underwear firing hexes and curses at each other until they heard a familiar voice.

"STOP!" yelled Hermione, having finally reached the stage. Harry and Ron both instinctively dropped their wands.

"What is this nonsense?" Hermione exploded. "Where are your clothes and what in Merlin's name are you two dueling for?"

"We're dueling for you," said Harry sarcastically and then immediately cast Muffliato. Lee frowned and tipped his head from side to side. A strange buzzing noise had filled his ears.

"What?" said Hermione, flabbergasted? Ron groaned.

"I'm not," Harry clarified quickly. "But he is." He glanced pointedly at Ron.

"What are you talking about, Harry? I just challenged you to this duel to practice my skills," said Ron loudly.

"What skills? You're in your underwear dueling Harry." Hermione said
"Come on Ron. Just tell the truth," said Harry exasperatedly.

"Fine," Ron mumbled, his ears turning pink again. "I was trying to impress you."

"Sorry, what did you say?" said Hermione, although she had heard just fine.

"I was trying to impress you," said Ron a bit louder.

"Pardon?" said Hermione, pretending to strain her ears.

"I WAS TRYING TO IMPRESS YOU, WOMAN!"

"Oh," said Hermione, turning a little pink as well. She felt pleased and happy inside, but of course she didn't show it. "Ron, you don't have to try to impress me! I've been with you through all the crazy adventures! I know what you can do."

"I told you so," Harry said to Ron, unable to refrain. To Hermione, he said, "This was all Ron's idea. I didn't want to go along with it."

"I could tell," said Hermione, the corner of her mouth twitching.

"Sorry," mumbled Ron, looking down at his feet. The planned duel had gone completely wrong. It had turned into a fiasco. "Sorry about Knickero--about the underwear jinx."

"It's alright, mate," said Harry after a pause. "I shouldn't have conjured that spider or put you under the Imperius curse."

Ron sighed with relief. "How about we just forget this night ever happened?"

Harry nodded. "Exactly what I was thinking."

And the trio of best friends walked off the stage, to the bewilderment of the crowd who had not heard a thing thanks to Muffliato.

"Up next we have, once again, Potter versus Weasley!" said Lee, trying to hide his confusion. "Only this time it's the other Weasley…Ginny Weasley, to be exact for the Semi Finals of the Duelling Competition."
